to get started.

Love the bed. Had a wonderful night's sleep. Staff was very polite.

Vienicia, Singapore

We love this hotel, and have stayed here several times. The bed was quite comfortable, and the extra size of the suite was appreciated. We enjoyed the two Televisions.

Janet, United States of America

I loved the location. Several nice places walking distance.

Maria, United States of America

Very nice facilities wonderful food rooms are nice like the middle of town being Able to get to every all activities very nice

Alex, United States of America

Great lobby and bar for lounging around. Breakfast buffet was awesome. Linda made me the best omelet ever and I've had them all over the world. Rooms were nicely appointed with nice amenities.

G, United States of America

The position was very handy for what we needed to do

Fay1, Australia

The location is great, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable with a beautiful view.

Małgorzata, Poland

The location was perfect for Fishermans Wharf and watching the seals sunbathe on the rocks. A lovely cycle/walkway through the town along the coast.

Alison, United Kingdom

We had a king room, which was spacious. We stayed in over Labor Day weekend and construction is still ongoing (and expect it to be under construction for the foreseeable future) Location was excellent, you're right by downtown Monterey and the Fisherman's Wharf. The lobby is gorgeous. Check in warm cookies super yummy.

Eden, United States of America

The hotel was so close to the wharf it was great for a walk to the Aquarium and also onto the wharf for the evening. The bar area looked wonderful but we didn't get the chance to use it due to late return and early start.

눉The hotel is being renovated and there is a lot of construction going on which did take the feel off the hotel. I'm sure it will be nice once finished but not good for guest staying during renovations

눉We hated the bed. It was far too small for two people. We booked and payed for 5 people but only had beds for 4. So our adult sized child needed to sleep on the floor. The fridge was minute.

“The staff was unresponsive to my needs. There was no air conditioning and it was noisy by the pool.”

눉There's no AC and this is considered a 4 star property. We were charged $400 a night and we were not able to rest comfortably. I would have liked the property if they had air conditioning, or if they had tried to change my room to a higher floor so that I could open the windows without being subjected to the noise from the pool and the traffic.
눇The location was great.

눉I will be glad when the construction is completed. The patio area was blocked with a scaffolding because of construction, so we couldn't appreciate this upgraded feature. One of the night stands had been removed. The sofa and chairs were not very comfortable, and appeared to be patio furniture. There was no central heat and air. Two of the three elevators were out of order, and at a very busy time.
눇We love this hotel, and have stayed here several times. The bed was quite comfortable, and the extra size of the suite was appreciated. We enjoyed the two Televisions.

“Great with a few glitches.”

눉Beds were comfortable & firm (not memory foam). But doubles were too small for 2 people. The hot and cold water were switched in our shower, making for a bit of a time to get the temp right. Also, hot water was intermittent in our room, but not in the room of our friends. Finally no air cond. meant we either cooked in the quiet with the window closed (they have really good noise isolation) or we left them open and were awoken by traffic.
눇Great lobby and bar for lounging around. Breakfast buffet was awesome. Linda made me the best omelet ever and I've had them all over the world. Rooms were nicely appointed with nice amenities.
